Mexico

Are you looking to add a pet to your family? Have you always wanted to take home a cat with a criminal record? If you said yes to those questions then you’re in luck then because Juarez officials are looking for someone to adopt a Juarez cat that was found in a Juarez prison earlier this month.

It began with a conjugal visit, and ended with a bold attempt at a prison break. Nineteen-year-old Maria del Mar Arjona used the privacy of the conjugal visit room in a Mexican prison to stuff her common law husband Juan Ramirez Tijerina -- who is serving a 20-year sentence for a 2007 conviction for illegal weapons possession -- in a suitcase.

The phrase "my treat" took on a whole new meaning Wednesday in suburban San Diego. In what may be a strange attempt at improving diplomatic relations, a 66-year-old white woman identified as Claudia Smith with a self-proclaimed love for Mexicans bought $5,000 worth of clothing for 50 women at the Everything a Deal discount store, where nothing has a price tag over $9.99.

Not even gunfire can stop Barney. A kindergarten teacher in Monterrey, Mexico named Martha Rivera Alanis has become a hero after she sang the purple dinosaur's 'If All the Raindrops' while a gang shootout took place outside.
